专辑简介
Love him or hate him, the self-proclaimed "Antichrist
Superstar," Marilyn Manson, was indisputably among the
most notorious and controversial entertainers of the
1990s. Celebrated by supporters as a crusader for free
speech and denounced by detractors as little more than a
poor man's Alice Cooper, Manson was the latest in a long
line of shock rockers, rising to the top of the charts on
a platform of sex, drugs, and Satanism. Though widely
dismissed by critics, his brand of metal nevertheless
struck a major chord with the youth market -- on the
strength of a masterfully orchestrated marketing campaign,
he became a mainstream anti-hero, much to the chagrin of
conservative politicians and concerned parents. Manson was
born Brian Warner in Canton, OH; at the age of 18, he
relocated to Tampa Bay, FL, working there as a music
journalist. In 1989, he became friends with guitarist and
fellow outsider Scott Mitchell; they decided to form a
band, with Mitchell rechristening himself Daisy Berkowitz
and Warner adopting the name Marilyn Manson.
With the addition of bassist Gidget Gein and keyboardist
Madonna Wayne-Gacy, the group -- originally dubbed Marilyn
Manson & the Spooky Kids -- began self-releasing cassettes
and playing gigs, their gothic stage show notable for
Manson's elaborate makeup and homemade special effects.
Jettisoning their drum machine in favor of one Sara Lee
Lucas, the band's sound began taking on a harder edge, and
by 1992 they were among the most popular acts in the south
Florida area. In 1993, Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor came
calling, offering both a contract with his Nothing Records
label as well as the chance to open for NIN the following
spring; Manson accepted both offers, and the group's debut
LP, Portrait of an American Family, appeared during the
summer of 1994. With new bassist Twiggy Ramirez replacing
Gein, the group's notoriety began to soar. Most
infamously, during an appearance in Salt Lake City, Manson
ripped apart a copy of the Book of Mormon while on-stage.
The Church of Satan's founder, Anton LaVey, also bestowed
upon him the title of "Reverend."
While some onlookers dismissed Manson's behavior as crass
audience manipulation, his cult following -- comprised
almost entirely of disaffected white suburban teens --
continued to swell, and with the release of 1995's Smells
Like Children EP the band broke into the mainstream,
propelled by their hit cover of the Eurythmics' "Sweet
Dreams (Are Made of This)." Berkowitz quit a short time
later and was replaced by guitarist Zim Zum; their next
LP, 1996's Antichrist Superstar, debuted at the number
three spot on the pop album charts. As Manson's popularity
grew, so did the furor surrounding him. His concerts were
regularly picketed by civic groups, and his music was the
subject of widespread attacks from the right-wing and
religious fronts. Again, however, his quick embrace of the
media spotlight called into question the true sincerity of
his revolutionary aims. With a cover story in Rolling
Stone and a best-selling autobiography, The Long Hard Road
Out of Hell, some onlookers doubted whether Manson had
sold his soul to Satan, or just sold his soul, period. The
glam-inspired Mechanical Animals followed in 1998, with
the resulting tour yielding the live Last Tour on Earth a
year later.
Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death) came out
at the end of 2000. The band toured to support the album
in 2001, and during a July show in Michigan, Manson was
charged with criminal sexual conduct after performing an
alleged offensive act on a security guard. December saw
Manson's version of "Tainted Love" appear on the Not
Another Teen Movie soundtrack while another security guard
filed a civil suit alleging Manson had rubbed his pelvis
on the guard's head. The July 2001 sexual conduct charges
were lowered to a misdemeanor in January 2002 and the
civil suit was dropped soon after. May 2003 saw the
release of The Golden Age of Grotesque, which spent a week
on top of the album charts and ended up on more than a few
critics' year-end Top Ten lists. In April 2004 the album
Lunch Boxes & Choklit Cows appeared, credited to Marilyn
Manson & the Spooky Kids -- Spooky Kids being the name of
Manson's earliest band. Manson fought the release and
court-ordered some artwork removed that was too close to
the art to which the singer owned the copyright. At the
end of September the Lest We Forget collection was
released, covering the highlights of Manson's career and
including a new cover version of Depeche Mode's "Personal
Jesus." Late in 2005 it was announced that a new album was
nearly finished, but it wasn't until 2007 that Eat Me,
Drink Me would arrive. The album was produced by Manson
and Tim Skold and mixed by longtime associate Sean Beavan.
